stm32duino STM32SD library append

Im using STM32SD library on my stm32f407vet6 board.  I want to make a logging system for my application. My initial logic is: on setup we count number of files in our root directory and create a new file named dataLog{fileNumber}. Then we write data into that file and check if its not empty. In given code example im always getting only last write into file (fouth write). As ive got this library only works in FILE_WRITE or FILE_READ modes. I trtied to use FA_OPEN_APPEND modifier but when im using this im getting errors while file creating.
And another thing is that im always getting a lot of initialization errors and file open errors overall while using this library, maybe it depends on me using stm32f407vet6, any advices would be great. Now i will try to use an advice from github issue of "unstable work with sdcard on stm32f4" - i'll try to redefine the value of the SD_CLK_DIV to bigger value.
